Relationship question

I’m curious—what’s your idea of taking things slow in a new relationship? Do you think it’s better to start as friends first, or is there a way to find a balance between getting to know someone and letting something romantic develop naturally? I’d love to hear your thoughts on how to make a connection feel comfortable from the beginning.

My wife and I were friends for years before becoming a couple. We were attracted to each other from quite early on but didn't express it. I think it would have been weird though if either of us was consciously trying to lay the groundwork for a romantic relationship. It was a good friendship that naturally became romance and marriage in its own good time.
